The stones from these old-fashioned pieces were reset 
in the artistic mountings shown below 
The time has passed when a jewel is fashionable simply because it is a diamond-set ring, pendant or brooch. The styles in 
jewelry change just as surely as in gowns, and never before has there Lecn a period when “‘Dame Fashion” has been so exact- 
ing in her demands that the jewelry shall possess true artistic merit as well as commercial value. The old style gold-set pieces, 
often with very little artistic merit, have given way to platinum-set jewelry, beautiful in design and workmanship. 
Platinum is a pure white metal, extremely hard when combined with iridium, and when used as a mounting for diamonds 
holds them more securely and shows them to better advantage than go:d. Many designs, lacey in appearance, can be fashioned 
in platinum because of itsstrength in a way that would beimpossiblein gold. Through the medium of our designer and workshop 
we can fashion the stones mounted in your old-fashioncd pieces either alone or with others we may add, into an exquisite piece 
of platinum jewelry. By employing high-class workmen the result is a beautiful ring, brooch, bar pin or lavalliere rather than 
several smaller pieces having no particular merit. The new piece of jewélry wi!l be correct in style and original in design, 
making it stand out in striking contrast to the ordinary “‘stock’’ pieces. 
Artistic jewelry mounted with stones from the old- 
fashioned pieces shown above 
These exquisite pieces of platinum jewelry, both stylish and artistic in design, add the finishing touch to the costume of the 
most exacting person. All these pieces were fashioned at various times for our customers, from stones taken from just such 
relics as are pictured above. This cut shows photographs of the finished s!:etches submitted free of charge for your inspection, 
and which give as clear an idea as possible of the appearance of the fnished article. Some show a few principle stones of the 
owner mounted together with small ones furnished by us to finish out the design. Oihcrs show only customers’ stones. 
We will glacly advise you concerning remodeling, furnishing criginal desizns, or following scme suggestion of your own. 
Giving as clear an idea as possible of what you wish when sending the stones, will save us expensive designs in which you are 
not interested and enable us to serve you more quickly and more satisfactorily. 
IMPORTANT NOTICE. Last Fall an unexpected rise in the cost of platinum so increased the 
cost of resetting in this metal that many hesitated to place their orders. Since Christmas, however, 
the price has dropped somewhat owing to the small amount of manufacturing. We have fair warn- 
ing, however, that the price of platinum will reach a point this Fall higher than ever dreamed of. 
For this reason, you cannot afford to neglect any remounting work you may have planned for this 
year. An immediate order will mean a distinct saving.
